Each year the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) and its affiliates honours individuals who have contributed immensely to the advancement of cardiovascular care and sciences through a variety of awards. This year, the Libin Cardiovascular Institute of Alberta’s Drs. Robert Sheldon and L. Brent Mitchell were honoured with the Canadian Cardiovascular Society's Annual Achievement Award (Sheldon) and the Canadian Heart Rhythm Society's Annual Achievement Award (Mitchell).

One-third of Canadians have high cholesterol and at least half of individuals who are considered high risk are not on medications. Led by Libin Institute's director, Dr. Todd Anderson, the guidelines will be used to determine how patients should be screened, if they should be on treatment, and how they should be followed. Based on the patient’s assessment, the guidelines will then state what medications they should be on to attenuate cardiovascular risk.

The Libin Cardiovascular Institute of Alberta, in partnership with the Department of Cardiac Sciences in the Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary, is inviting applications for a tenure-track position, at the Assistant Professor level, in the area of statistical and analytic methodology in big data such as administrative health data, electronic medical records, large clinical registry and linked data.
